Outfitting the Winchelsea
I have been reviewing many books on proper outfitting for a sailboat like mine, and I have compiled a list of items/repairs/upgrades that the Winchelsea needs. They range from simple checks and calculations to confirm that she is "sea worthy" to the purchase and installation of a self-steering wind-vane gear system, later down the road.
I have ranked them from 0-9, with 0 being the item or task that recieve attention first. The rank is a product of the priority and cost. These are qualitative numbers, with 1 having more priority than a 2 and a cost of 1 being less than a cost of 3. The cost of 0 means it is a check to make sure what exists is within acceptable limits (which could lead to more repairs or upgrades if it is not).
I plan on starting the 0 ranked items immediately, with those ranked 1-3 following before the start of the sailing season. Those ranked 4 and above will be tended to as money and time become available, with a preference given to items concerning safety.
Of course, if you have any comments or additions to this list, please let me know.
